Valeriy Vishnevsky

In 2006 Valeriy graduated from AESC MSU(A.N Kolmogorov school) and began his studies at the Lomonosov Moscow State University in the department of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics.

In 2008 right after joining the group he started to work in conference with K.V. Anokhin’s research group in P.K. Anokhin Institute of Normal Physiology and National Research Nuclear University, on methods for detecting patterns in discrete behavioral time sequences. His work started from reimplementing with a few modification standard Magnusson’s T-Pattern approach, the next step was developing method inspired by T-Patterns approach but built on probabilistic basis. The most noticeable achievements of proposed method were his high robustness to noisy input data, and possibility of brand new approach for describing behavior in general: by vector of responses to some set of patterns.

The most noticeable outcomes of Valeriy’s work on that projects is presentation on international conference Measuring Behavior 2010, and his graduation Diploma work which was honoured 1st place “Diploma(graduate) work contest 2011” at Lomonosov Moscow State University, The Department of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics.

The second project in which Valeriy extensively participated in collaboration with MSU Department of Chemistry and Department of Mechanics and Mathematics was estimation of the kinetic constants of enzyme-substrate complexes from spectrophotometry measurements.

In 2011 after graduating from the Moscow State University Valeriy joined ETH Zurich Department of Computer Science for 3 month internship, where under supervision of Prof. Ivo Sbalzarini he was working on uncertainty quantification and using local geometrical prior in image segmentation methods.

In 2012 Valeriy is going to join ETH Zurich Department of Electrical Engineering and working on statistical shape models for image processing
